Deflategate, in which the New England Patriots are accused of deflating footballs because OH MY GOD WHO CARES. It’s the stupidest sports controversy in recent memory and I’m pretty sure it’s only a thing because there is no other interesting narrative around this Super Bowl. Full Story

Ben Affleck is in Atlanta working on The Accountant. He’s the Accountant but really he’s an assassin.

Earlier this week I got a document in my email listing projected release dates for trailers, and I noticed that Superhero Face Punch had a projected February trailer date. I thought that was a bit odd since its release, March 25, 2016, is more than a year away.

Ben Affleck pretty much said it during his speech – Gone Girl was recognised as the Best Film, or something, I don’t know what they call it, at the Hollywood Film Awards and, as he pointed out, there were no other nominees.
Mostly though, Ben’s speech was about his dick. Once again, he brought up the fact that we see it in the movie. Full Story
